🧑 💻 Senior Software Engineer – React/TypeScript/Python
📍 Remote-friendly (infrequent office days for team events)
💰 Salary £85k–£90k + generous bonus + share options scheme
Oliver Bernard are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join a fast-growing FinTech scale-up. Their platform is used by financial institutions, and engineering quality is central to the business. They are growing their product team and need an experienced, frontend-leaning engineer to help shape and build what gets developed next.
You will join a small, cross-functional squad alongside two frontend engineers, a backend engineer, a Product Director and a Product Designer. The role is heavily frontend-focused (around 70%), working primarily with React and TypeScript to build high-quality, scalable product features. The remaining 30% will involve working across the backend with Python and FastAPI, contributing to APIs and services that support the wider platform. You'll be involved in taking features from initial ideas through to production on AWS.
They're looking for someone who has a strong product engineering background, ideally having spent time within an established product business or technology-led organisation. This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of a product, influence technical decisions and work closely with Product and Design, rather than moving between client projects.
The team is close-knit and collaborative, with low turnover. They want someone who enjoys working with others, shares ideas openly and wants to build a long-term career with them.
Must have:
- 7+ years of commercial software engineering experience
- Strong commercial experience with React and TypeScript, ideally within a product-led engineering environment
- Experience building and evolving customer-facing products, with a strong focus on frontend quality and user experience
- Solid full-stack fundamentals, with experience working across backend services and APIs
- Python experience (FastAPI is a bonus), or a strong backend background in another language and a willingness to learn Python
- Hands-on experience with AWS
- Experience working closely with Product and Design teams in a collaborative engineering squad
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach to working with others
- Right to work in the UK (no sponsorship available)
Nice to have:
- Experience in FinTech, financial services or a scale-up environment
- Previous experience working on complex SaaS or B2B products
- FastAPI experience
Tech Stack: React, TypeScript, Python, FastAPI, AWS
This role is remote-friendly. You will need to be comfortable travelling to the office in London when required for team days and company reviews, but this is infrequent rather than weekly.
If you're a Senior Software Engineer with strong React and TypeScript experience, who enjoys taking ownership of products and building great software alongside a tight-knit team in FinTech, apply now!
